'DREAMS · GO BY OPPOSITES.
The following examples of Malay beliefs and superstitions are given by Mr. Ivor H. N. Evans, M., ethnographer to the +F.M.S. Museums, in an article in the Museums Journal:
Dreams go by opposites. If one dreams in the early morning, say between three and six o'clock, that something will not happen, it will, and at an early data, but if the dream occurs before this, the event will be delayed.
If the fruit of a tree falls before it is ripe tie a bubu (a conical rattan ishtrap) to the trunk, or take some nasi semangat (rice with which the bridegroom feeds the bride and the reverse) which must come both from the hands of the bride and the bridegroom and put it on the trunk of the tree.
The scars left by landslips on the bills are places where dragons have emerged.

The Malays said that a great dragon had come out of the hills sad I was told, after the third flood had taken place, that the dragon had departed in this, hav- ing needed three floods before it could make its way to the sea. It was also said that, the dragon hav- ing gone, there would be no more

The present Prime Minister, Mr. Stanley Baldwin, is perhaps the least assertive of all men in the House of Commons. He seems to have stumbled into leadership by the merest accident. He is sur rounded by clever debaters, orators, and experienced politicians, and always seems to be half-afraid that they may the means of his un- doing. In this respect he differs from Bosar Law. No man ever enjoyed more than Mr. Law the mental exercise of debate. seemed always to be prepared for his opponents case. His speeches were delivered with an easy grace and skilfully. constructed upon a logical scquenco. Mr. Baldwin dis- arms his opposition by seeming to be a little challenge of their indiet- ment, having just heard something unexpected, he proceeds laboriously to build his walls of defence.

This slow-moving and hesitating method has only many occasions irritated the more impetuous of his followers and misled many of his opponents, the former taking it as an evidence of indecision, and the latter as an indication of confusion. But many of Mr. Baldwin's critics are beginning to wonder if what they had heretofore taken to be a political innocent, stumbling by chance upon easy expedients, is not, Tew Postal Facilities.
